<span class=sr-only>Link to heading</span></a></h3><p>This project operated under a specific constraint: the only available x86_64 machines were homelab servers running Proxmox VE as bare-metal hypervisors. There was no x86 laptop available, and the primary workstation was an Apple M4 Mac (ARM64 architecture incompatible with SDK Manager).</p><p>Installing SDK Manager directly on the Proxmox host OS was explicitly ruled out for several reasons:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Hypervisor Stability</strong>: The Proxmox hosts run critical infrastructure (Kubernetes clusters, Ceph storage, network services). Installing development tools and potentially conflicting dependencies directly on the hypervisor risks system stability.</p></li><li><p><strong>Dependency Conflicts</strong>: SDK Manager requires numerous dependencies (QEMU, specific Python versions, USB libraries) that could conflict with Proxmox&rsquo;s carefully managed package versions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Clean Separation</strong>: Best practices dictate keeping hypervisor hosts minimal, with all workloads running in VMs or containers. This separation simplifies maintenance, updates, and disaster recovery.</p></li><li><p><strong>Repeatability</strong>: A solution confined to a VM or container can be easily replicated, backed up, and destroyed without affecting the host system.</p></li></ol><p>This constraint made the flashing process significantly more complex, as it required finding a virtualization method that could reliably handle the Jetson&rsquo;s USB communication requirements without installing anything on the Proxmox host beyond standard virtualization features.</p><h2 id=background-jetson-flashing-requirements>Background: Jetson Flashing Requirements
